x]]] awesome random poem xD

the first two are great

Iridescent_Revival_<3 wrote:Ko Ranginui, ko Papatuanuku, Ko Tangaroa

Sorry I forgot to translate this line.
It's basically calling on Father Sky (rangi=sky. nui=big), Mother Earth, and their son the god of the winds.
My Maori is extremely poor so I decided to keep it simple ^^

^Oh, thanks for translating I love how you've added that line of Maori, it adds something special to the poem. It's so beautiful ^^

so i was going through through my computer and found some old songs and thought i'd post them here... (sorry they don't have names)

Song #1

The sun drills lights into my vision
The rain soothes her cuts and scars
Though stars dance upon my skin
In forgiveness of my sins
Within my thoughts your clouds never depart

Am I to know this feeling after the grave?
Will the corpse’s soul ever decay?
The bloodshot eyes in the ill of all I made
I can hear her screaming in fear of the next day

Neverending dark of the night falls upon the seed
Long waited for tide rebelling against the breeze
Though the revolving earth pauses for breath
Humanity still destined to fall by the end
Within my conscience time cannot be free

Am I to know this feeling after the grave?
Will the corpse’s soul ever decay?
The bloodshot eyes in the ill of all things made
I can hear her screaming in fear of this day

Carpet once white, now red
Ruby-studded dagger poised in my hand
Solvents scratch at my skull
Too late for understated hearts now
Can you feel the stars sparkle upon her stone face?
As G.R. tragically turns away from the
Diamond necklace slices at her throat
‘Tis the melody without it’s last note
An incomplete letter, an unfinished picture
Can’t bring myself to leave
He has no forgiveness for me

Am I to know this feeling after the grave?
Will the corpse’s soul ever decay?
The bloodshot eyes in the ill of all life’s shame
It’s too silent for this miraculous tame

Song #2
Caught by a thread, Cut into open wounds
Used table salt to numb my thoughts
Don’t need to leave the light on tonight
I promise not to hallucinate my own fright
Chances are the bed is still broken
And the blankets are cleverly torn in half
Lying on the floor untainted by the cold
Dreaming of nightmares from the past

Traditionally, I shouldn’t really be
In love with you
And theoretically, I shouldn’t be
Trying to think of what to do
Idealistically, I really should be
Wise about my decisions
Incisions only hurt
When you watch the scar grow worse
I bet that the brave little surgeon
Don’t even know what he’s doing
But I guess it’s worth a try
And risk losing my goodbye

Sharp metal is hidden beneath the frame
Already gone and stolen it from his grave
But the trigger is glued back into place
With the promise to never use it again
His face is etched into the headboard
And his hair still hangs from the bedposts
Yes his scent still lingers in my throat
And his presence stares down and sees my own ghost
Showed him the pathway to eternal peace
But still feel a little cheated of my choices
Got so close to seeing the banner of grace
But I guess it ain’t time for me to stumble into the pearly gate

And traditionally, I shouldn’t really be
In love with you
And theoretically, I shouldn’t be
Trying to think of what to do
Idealistically, I really should be
Wise about my decisions
Incisions only hurt
When you watch the scar grow worse
I bet that the brave little surgeon
Don’t even know what he’s doing
But I guess it’s worth a try
To risk losing my goodbye

If I change my mind I change my path
But I’ve lost all the tools to build a new one
I’m still wondering if you’re worth the effort
If you worth another chance

Song #3

I don’t have time in my hands
I can’t wait around until the world will finally understand
The beauty of all that I believe in
Don’t understand what on earth they are thinking
You say you don’t define it as hate
You say you have no reason to feel ashamed
Then why are you desperately searching for the ability
To manipulate His word

You believe in a god but you don’t believe in faith
You use the bible but claim that it’s fake
So why bother tryna define all that you say
Determined to make the whole world change
A man is a man never mind the colour of his skin
A war is a war never mind who’s destined to win
Either way there’s gonna be shame, there’s gonna be hate
Can’t we all just coexist without feeling this pain

Raindrops are the tears of my God
He weeps for those who upon His fields trod
Though you may be right when you say he is not there
I’ll still believe in Him and that His love is near
And though you call me hateful things
I will always forgive your misunderstandings
And though you curse His name and love
He will still send to you a peaceful dove

You believe in a god but you don’t believe in faith
You use the bible but claim that it’s fake
So why bother tryna define all that you say
Determined to make the whole world change
A man is a man never mind the colour of his skin
A war is a war never mind who’s destined to win
Either way there’s gonna be shame, there’s gonna be hate
Can’t we all just coexist without feeling this pain again

You may have the right to judge
That’s just a human quality
But the day you officially condemn
It’ll be over my dead body
Some lives will always be lost
Some lives are saved by the cross
I will always know what I feel

i'm kinda embarrassed about how narrow-minded i sound in the third one. i hope i've "evolved" since then to be more accepting and willing to believe that anything is possible. i actually wrote it when i was arguing with a guy who was saying that "my god" was nothing but a common murderer. i recall him saying something like "your god died by being nailed to a piece of wood and my god carries a hammer around. coincidence? i think not" so yeah i was kinda upset when i was writing it so sorry if that really really shows D:

Gorgeous, as usual ^^ I love the chorus of the second one, it flows beautifully. As for the third, I can understand how hurt you must have felt. You were far from unjustified in feeling the way you did, and saying what you did in the song. "Your god died by being nailed to a piece of wood and my god carries a hammer around. Coincidence? I think not." - That was such a harsh thing to say, and no matter how you see God, you shouldn't use God's name as a weapon just to prove a point.

A man is a man never mind the colour of his skin
A war is a war never mind who’s destined to win
Either way there’s gonna be shame, there’s gonna be hate
Can’t we all just coexist without feeling this pain

I love this. I was watching the news when the last American soldiers had left Iraq, and the story was basically about the question "Who has won?" I couldn't believe it. How can anyone believe that there is any such thing as "winning" when it comes to war? So many people have died on both sides, and what for? What has been gained from it? Nothing except hatred and pain. World Peace may never truly be achieved, but I hope one day the world will realise that nothing can be won from fighting, only lost.

There are always beautiful messages in your songs

awww thank you! it's so amazing when someone understands where you're coming from in your lyrics! sometimes i think "hmm they will probably think this is weird and a bit try-hard" but then i get freaking awesome comments like yours and it's just like "wow i'm not crazy"

my favourite is garnet! you are amazing!!

^ thankyou very much

I wrote this one this week. I know it's trashy and cheesy but I'm still proud because I've finally written a happy song!!! I don't know what to call it yet, though.

I love how your hair falls
In front of your eyes when you
Bend your head to see the chords you’re playing
I love how you rub your lips
To stop yourself from smiling too wide
In case it makes me jealous of your charmed life

Because I wish I saw that beauty
You always talk about whenever you see me
Oh I wish I knew what it was that keeps me in your heart

I love how you think that
The world is going to end if you fail to
Call me every night at 11:11 just to say “I love you”
I love how you are willing
To listen to my obsessions about
Bands and singers and supernatural TV shows
Because it means you get to hear the happy tone of my voice

But I wish I saw that beauty
You always talk about whenever you see me
Oh I wish I knew what it was that keeps me in your heart

I love how you refuse to
Let me go without a hug
Ignoring all of my protests because you know I don’t mean them
I love how you manage to
Make me laugh whenever I’m crying
With a stupid, inappropriate joke about your favourite anime
I love how you remind me
Every single day in every single way
That I can do whatever I set my mind to

But I wish I saw that beauty
You always talk about whenever you see me
Oh I wish I knew what it was that keeps me in your arms

<3

wow...that really explains me...*hugs* thats so awsome!!!!

fank you

It's not bad

This is so sweet, an ideal boyfriend xD

lol well some is about the things i liked about my ex... some is what i like about someone else... and part is one of the things that my ex said he liked about me.... hm

oooh :]

he played guitar I'm guessing?

lol oh forgot about that one lol that's actually what i really want in a guy hahaha wellll some form of musicality anyways D: sorry xD

These are the ones about my ex:

I love how you think that
The world is going to end if you fail to
Call me every night at 11:11 just to say “I love you”

I love how you are willing
To listen to my obsessions about
Bands and singers and supernatural TV shows
Because it means you get to hear the happy tone of my voice

I love how you refuse to
Let me go without a hug
Ignoring all of my protests because you know I don’t mean them

This is one of the things that he liked about me:

I love how you rub your lips
To stop yourself from smiling too wide
In case it makes me jealous of your charmed life

This is some things that I like about another guy:

I love how you manage to
Make me laugh whenever I’m crying
With a stupid, inappropriate joke about your favourite anime

I love how you remind me
Every single day in every single way
That I can do whatever I set my mind to

and guitar.... ME WANT!!!!!

aww,

I want a boyfriend who is a guitar player, thrashing out the chords :]

hahaha i'd want a boyfriend who could sing and kinda know guitar so that he could sing the songs i write

lol that could work too.

But a boy doesn't need talent to win my heart <3

yeah. just lots of money. JK!!!!!!!! all i want is funny and respectful... oh and it would help if he liked me back hahaha well that narrows it down quite a bit..........

Ha yeah, but there is that special someone out there.

Might go through a lot of heartbreaks but in the end it will be all good.

Hmmm tru tru... I'm not gonna do my usual rant about that lol xD

lol neither.

Ah Maybe I should post the poems up now and let you guys decide which one.

yes yes you should!

Posted :] in the poems section.

so awsome i love your songs!!!

thank you it's so weird because before ToL, i only showed this stuff to my friends and sometimes my parents. of course my parents didn't like how "dark" they are but my friends like them (i think lol) and then i come to ToL and manage to post some of my songs and people here actually LIKE my style of writing!!! it's like i was born for this secret society of moon children...... <3

So was I, I discovered a hidden talent here :]

lol when you said "hidden talent" i instantly thought ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL!!!!!!

xD Disney is evil.

soooo true lol and yet it's addictive

I watch comedy xD and Fox8

^^ it is o-0 ..all kids shows are adictive!!!

I love your latest poem ^^ It reminds me of my boyfriend...he plays guitar WIN! xD

It isn't as cheesy as you think it is. I've written far cheesier stuff than that xD Practice, and keep posting. I'm sure your happy songs will soon become as beautiful and profound as your dark ones ^^ It's so good for your first try, I felt like crying a little by the end. Jeez, I'm far too emotional Seriously though, your heart has gone into this just as it has with your other songs, and it shows. It's beautifully simple, just like love should be; you don't need to explain it, it speaks for itself <3

everyone types so much :3 XD i

well i love this peom keep wrting!!

My main issue with writing songs is that I can't "edit" or "proofread". As soon as I write a song I'm too scared of touching it again in case I ruin it even more lol so here's a new one :3

All the rubble beneath my feet
Causes me to stumble and fall to my knees
Cracks and gaps separate what was meant to be one
People praying, kneeling on broken windows
They pretend not to notice the pain from the glass

Because it’s more important to make ourselves heard
And I can tell there’s someone behind me now
Listening to my every word
I know it is you
My tingling fingertips tell me so

I felt the bricks fall upon your head
Even though I’m far away
I heard you scream and try to run
But love you weren’t fast enough
And now you’re engraved
All who pass this point will know your name
Yeah now you’re engraved
To watch over this place

I don’t mind standing knee-deep in ash
I don’t mind leaning against a weapon
I don’t mind hugging a complete stranger
I don’t mind wiping the tears from a window pane
I don’t mind scrubbing the blood stains away

Because it’s more important to make ourselves heard
And I can tell there’s someone behind me now
Listening to my every word
I know it is you
My tingling fingertips tell me so

I felt the bricks fall upon your head
Even though I’m far away
I heard you scream and try to run
But love you weren’t fast enough
And now you’re engraved
All who pass this point will know your name
Yeah now you’re engraved
To watch over this place

HAPPY SONG??

There are no pictures on her wall
There is no record of her words
No one cares about her style
Whenever she leaves, they forget her
And yet she has the prettiest smile
And yet she gives me butterflies
And yet I wake up every single day
Looking forward to her beautiful eyes

And that’s how it happened
That’s how the wings clutched to my feet
That’s how the sky turned to baby blue
That’s how grass turned to healthy green
That’s how the sun rose this morning
And that’s how the dove learned to fly
That’s how I fell in love with my empty girl

I fell in love
With the emptiest girl
She said to me “Don’t worry
About the shadows
Closing in
You’ll get used to them
They’ll reinvent your head
Don’t bother fighting”

And that’s how it happened
That’s how the wings clutched to my feet
That’s how I missed the bus today
That’s how the wind almost blew me away
That’s how the sun rose this morning
And that’s how the dove learned to fly
That’s how I fell in love with my empty girl

I fell in love
With the emptiest boy
He stripped away the golden paint
And began to cry
Tears of joy
Knowing he had nothing
Not a single piece of clothing
No one to miss his voice

And that’s how it happened
That’s how the wings clutched to my feet
That’s how I missed the bus today
That’s how the wind almost blew me away
That’s how the sun rose this morning
And that’s how the dove learned to fly
That’s how I fell in love with my empty boy

Sometimes less means more
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes less gives us hope
To someday become what we wish for
Empty

First is so awesome but second I think that is better. Your poems,songs are so fantastic

thank you sooo much guys i'm gonna try to keep writing happier songs for a while so that i can get better at them <3 i think i'm losing my touch with the "darker" ones

lol i really need to slow down and stop writing so many songs and get a life >.<

Sure if you gave me a needle
I would put it to real good use
I’d be soaring high like an eagle
Forever denying the water abuse
Sure if you gave me a syringe
I’d fill it up until it drips
And I’d take advantage of the skittles binge
Yeah I’d make the most of that shit

A way of coping with loss
Is to make the most of what you still got

Pick up all the things that could clutter
And steal all the things that could flutter
Get all fussy with those ideas on the paper
Swap around some stars here and there
Here and there
As if you have the right to preach to the heavens
Things are different now
From the days of honest vows

Sure if you gave me a children’s book
I’d scribble between all the lines
Write my name where the owner should
But then dot the T’s and cross the I’s
Sure if you gave me a bookmark
I’d place it between the wrong pages
And make you look for somewhere to start
It’ll take you days of amazing dazes

A way of coping with loss
Is to make the most of what you still got

Pick up all the things that could clutter
And steal all the things that could flutter
Get all fussy with those ideas on the paper
Swap around some stars here and there
Here and there
As if you have the right to preach to heaven
Things are different now
From the days of honest vows

Sure if you gave me some paint
I would make you a pretty picture
And if you gave me raw steak
I’d squeeze out the blood to add more colour
Sure if you gave me a kiss
I’d hold you close until the world ends
But if that kiss made me itch
I’d never forgive you ever again
Because

A way of coping with loss
Is to make the most of what you still got
Yeah a way of coping with loss
Is to tell them all to bugger off

Pick up all the things that could clutter
And steal all the things that could flutter
Get all fussy with those ideas on the paper
Swap around some stars here and there
Here and there
As if you have the right to preach to heaven
Things are different now
From the days of honest vows

dont stop writing songs!! ]]x
this is amazingg <3

You are so talented it should be illegal! Is it happy or dark you master it perfectly.

name??

She keeps a photo album in her special glitter drawer
She likes to take it out and show the kids who they were before
The pop music and the mainstream fashion
Reached their hearts and brains and tongues

She knows they don’t really care about her anymore
But she still hopes that someday they’ll wake up and remember
About the good old days where the scars
On her stomach were accepted signs of love

So what do you say, what do you say to the broken hearted ones now?
Oh what do you say, what do you say to the ones who made you?

Is there any guilt in your heart for breaking hers?
She gained and lost the worst for you and learned
To raise a child while being choked by her own halo
Ignore the circumstances in your mind
Allow them to dissolve over time
Keep telling yourself those little lies oh
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault

She denied surgery cos she prefers to keep the memories
But then they see the flab and think “oh my god, my mother’s so fucking fat”
What they don’t realise is that
Their enemy was once their bulletproof shelter
Their darkest fears were once their home

So what do you say, what do you say to the broken hearted ones now?
Oh what do you say, what do you say to the ones who made you?

Is there any guilt in your heart for breaking hers?
She gained and lost the worst for you and learned
To raise a child while being choked by her own halo
Ignore the circumstances in your mind
Allow them to dissolve over time
Keep telling yourself those little lies oh
It’s all her fault, it’s all her fault, it’s all her fault

The soil is my blood so I bleed on the ground
The soil is my home so I sleep on the ground
The soil is my breath so I feed on the ground
The soil is her bed so I mourn out loud (ouch, lame rhyme Dx)

For there is guilt in my heart for breaking hers
She gained and lost the worst for me and she learned
To raise me while being choked slow by her own halo
I ignored the circumstances in my mind
I allowed them to dissolve over time
Kept telling myself these little lies oh
It’s no one’s fault, it’s no one’s fault, it’s no one’s fault

gave up on my Classics assessment and wrote this instead:

You write me love letters with poetic lines
And you leave a rose on my pillow every night
You hold the door open for me like a prince would
You sit and listen to me when I feel misunderstood

But this is a pair of jeans, not a beautiful dress
And I’m just a normal girl, not a royal princess
I never wear high heels cos I’m scared of heights
All I ask is that when you next kiss me goodnight, you

Pick me up
And take me to the clouds
Wait for me to make a wish
And then bring me straight back down
I only need some of the fairytale magic
I really don’t mind staying down here
Just as long as you stay here too
That’s all I ask of you

I don’t love you for the horse drawn carriage rides
I love you for who you are on the inside
I don’t want Romeo to come around and sweep me off my feet
A night in with you and some DVDs is good enough for me

Cos this is a pair of jeans, not a beautiful dress
And I’m just a normal girl, not a royal princess
I never wear high heels cos I’m scared of heights
All I ask is that when you next kiss me goodnight, you

Pick me up
And take me to the clouds
Wait for me to make a wish
And then bring me straight back down
I only need some of the fairytale magic
I really don’t mind staying down here
Just as long as you stay here too
That’s all I ask of you

I’m no Juliet
I’m no princess
I’m no Cinderella or Snow White
When you next kiss me goodnight
When you kiss me goodnight

Pick me up
And take me to the clouds
Wait for me to make a wish
And then bring me straight back down
I only need some of the fairytale magic
I really don’t staying down here
Just as long as you stay here too
That’s all I ask of you

Beautiful! I have tears in my eyes =') I'm telling you, any artist would be so privileged to have you as a songwriter. Promise me, don't sell yourself short in life, ok? You have so much talent, and I think somebody influential might notice someday

aww thank you that's so sweet!!!! i just need to learn to put music to it... easy peasy lolz xD
